ilk. I never saw them protesting against the murderous Kmer Rouge.I'll
always believe that the Vietnam War was honorable and that it served a vital
purpose. There's no shame or blame for anything that happened over there on our
part.|

made some telephone calls and my Aussie friend, Ray O'Brien, tells me that his
brother Private John O'Brien was with the 1st Royal Australian Regiment (known
as 1 RAR), Mortar Platoon.He was based at Fire Support Base Coral, Bien
Hoa province, north-east of Bear Cat (US 9th Division) and Black Horse (US 11th
Cavalry). On 13 May 1968, Fire Support Base Coral was overrun by Vietcong and
John, 21 old, was killed.It was called Battle of Coral and a guy named
Lex McCauley wrote a book about it. He also wrote a book called Battle of Long
Tan, which also mainly involved Aussies. If you need any more information then
let me know. Hope this is of interest to you.|

it is disgraceful how far out kooks like Fonda can protest one thing and ignore
something as tragic as the killing fields in Cambodia. This tradegy is one of
the worst genocides in history yet the far left politicos are strangely silent
about it.Ironically, if they did mention the murder of millons of people
in Cambodia, they would probably find a way to blame the United States for it.
They often turn things around to support their world view.|

have beaten Ellis if he slugged it out with him rather than boxing ? Would he
have beaten Frazier had he boxed rather than slugged it out ? Was there any
tactic he could have used to beat Ali ?|
|3/31/05 10:15:21 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Howard-I think that JQ would have
never beat Ali' and Frazier in their primes, because they were too good for him.
But, on the other hand, I think that the Jerry Quarry of the Mac Foster, Lyle or
Shavers fights would have found a way to beat Jimmy Ellis, regardless of the
stile.Fan-Did Ali' ever dance as well as he did in the Cleveland
Williams fight in other fights ? In that fight he really did float like a
butterfly and did sting like a bee. In other fights (for instance against Norton
and Lyle) he did dance very well sometimes, but rarely did sting. Is it true
that Clay was very very fast between 1960 and 1962 and that the other guy could
almost never touch him, as fast as he was in Roma in 1960 ? I have seen him
against Billy Daniels and he didn't look that brilliant. Thanks. |

in spurts, but hardly awe-inspiring. Against Alonzo Johnson he moved alot but
had no power in his punches on his way to a somewhat close decision. He looked
better against the slow Alex Miteff and Willi Besmanoff, both plodders. Sonny
Banks woke him up with the knockdown, but Banks was a plodder too and Clay just
picked him apart after the knockdown. Billy Daniels gave him all sorts of
trouble before the fight being stopped on a cut eye. That was one of the last
fights at old St. Nicholas arena. Ali killed the slow, plodding Moore. Then
Clay had trouble with Doug Jones and Henry Cooper both. Clay always had trouble
with Cooper's style even in '66. At this point Clay was thought of as a nice
heavyweight, but would get squashed by Sonny Liston like a bug, not a bee.
Clay's most impressive performances after he won the title before his exile were
Williams, Patterson, Terrell. He never looked as good as he did against
Williams because Williams was so slow that Ali could do whatever he wanted
without fear of being hit. Williams, Folley, London were all painfully easy
defenses. He fought Williams and Folley because they never were given a chance
to fight for the title before, and he respected them. They also had no chance
to beat him. London was a farce, he was better than Terry Daniels, but less
dangerous than Ron Stander when Stander fought for the title.|
